Cheap Jaguar XK8 Part 5 - The Summer Fete, The Boot Disaster and GOOD SHOT!

Part 5
We parked the Jag up at the school summer fete, and it proved quite a hit. Until we locked all the stuff in the boot. Plus there’s the cheeky bonus of Geoff’s ‘I will pay you a fiver if you can smash my phone screen’ challenge which totally backfired - pun intended.

OMG,, LOL.. The key hole is in the XK8 badge on the back. That is how you get in.

Hi , should be a key hole to the right hand side in-between the badge to open the boot with key on the Jag. Nice car btw . And get some stuff called kraken tape for temporary repairs to hoses and pipes 😁 .

Yes there's a secret key hole in the xk8 badge on the back right. Might need some wd40. Or if you have the proper black key then some process of lock with key on door, unlock, open and put key in ignition.
